Steps for Stuffed Frittatas with Speck and Mozzarella
Start by preparing the sauce: in a pot, pour a drizzle of oil, add the finely chopped onion and let it brown. Add the tomato sauce, adjust the salt and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt, add a generous handful of grated Parmesan, and beat them with a fork. If desired, you can add some freshly ground pepper to the mixture.
Place a non-stick skillet of 8 inches in diameter on the stove, pour a drizzle of oil, and let it heat for a few minutes on low heat. Then, pour a couple of tablespoons of the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and quickly rotate it to form a thin disk. When the frittata detaches from the bottom, flip it with the help of a spatula and continue cooking for about a minute or slightly more. The frittata should remain light in color, not golden. Repeat the operation until the mixture is used up.
Proceed with the filling: place the mozzarella on a cutting board and cut it into strips not too thin (squeeze it to remove the milk). Take a frittata and lay a slice of speck on it, covering almost the entire surface. Place a couple of mozzarella strips in the center, then roll up the frittata. Repeat the same procedure with all the others.
Take an oven dish and pour a layer of sauce on the bottom. Lay the frittatas on it, cover them with the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with a handful of grated Parmesan. Bake in a static oven preheated to 356°F for 15-20 minutes. After the cooking time, remove from oven and serve the stuffed frittatas with speck and mozzarella hot.
Storage and Tips
You can store the stuffed frittatas with speck and mozzarella in the refrigerator for up to two days, in an airtight glass container. When serving, reheat them for about 5 minutes, allowing the mozzarella to melt again.
Depending on your tastes, you can vary the filling: for example, with provolone and cooked ham, or with provolone and bacon.
